Chrysanthemum
Herbal and aromatic, this benefits from the dilution that comes with a good long stir

Absolute banger it tastes just like chrysanthemum tea and it’s a good sip

A delightful cocktail. Anders Erickson regal stirred it with an orange peel and that was the cherry on top. The name is great because it really feels delicate like a flower.

Terrific! Both the cocktail and the Joplin!

Felt like a bee sipping nectar from a flower! Awesome! Dolin Dry, Grande Absente.

Tried both the Boudreau and 1930 Craddock recipes. Both are good, but I think the lemon juice in the Boudreau recipe detracts a bit from herbal, aromatic nature of the drink which I enjoy. The Boudreau version is a little more refreshing on the palate. The version I’ll make in the future will have to be a preprandial decision.

Great call on the comparison. I do like sour but went with the original first and glad I did. Thanks. It was sublime.

Always fun to learn a new word. Two books once lost and now sorely missed; Greek and Latin prefixes and suffixes, and one on bioscientific terminology. Cheers.

I like this very much, especially with heavy dashes of absinthe.

Sublime, especially with ragtime accompaniment.

The Chrysanthemum #2 includes lemon juice to brighten and freshen the cocktail. I recommend that. I also recommend increasing the Benedictine by 2-3x.
